There is supposed to be two million people still in Kyiv

Any able bodied person among them is now part of what is going to be an absolutely fierce resistance. Praying they do not get obliterated by missiles

Ukraine media floated an “intelligence” report that top officials in Putin’s ranks were plotting to remove Putin and replace him with the current head of the FSB

It seems like a very clever piece of disnfo because it basically baits Putin into arresting the head of his own intelligence out of sheer paranoia, thus destabilizing his own internal network even more

China is the biggest bully in the world. The west are no saints. But don't buy that propaganda that China is somehow more open-minded.

People are moving toward the Yuan because they are betting that China will overtake US as the world's #1 economy.


That sounds right.

IMO when you take the fact that China has a $530 billion USD deficit compared to $3.1 trillion USB, I'd say our economy is already 2nd.

After watching lloydj's video, if these 6 countries, who btw have substantial human, oil and economic resources become Russia's new clients, the only ones holding the West sanctioned bag, may ultimately be the West. That's' also not including Venezuela and Mexico.

You can imagine the deals, Russia sells a barrel at $25 to them and meanwhile the EU has to buy it at $109. That means, Venezuela, Iran, Russia and SA can strangle the oil markets. Only U.S. occupied Libya, Iraq and Syria to a degree will have to make up the difference.

Plus the U.S. is pondering making buying Russian oil an illegal act (a little self-serving), I can't see how Germany will hold up.

I know it feels like the USA has been #1 for an eternity. But dynasties always fail. On a bigger scale, 250 years isn't that long for a single nation. There's been bigger and longer dynasties that fell. We might be due. Country has been very divided and leadership has been poor.

I think people are accepting the fact that Chinese will rule the world and we might as well get in early on the Yuan and Chinese investments.

Here's an excellent talk about what the U.S. should be doing to end this war and not escalate it from Medhi Hasan and Ayman.

Why do we need China? If we really had to, we could do everything through our NATO allies and without China. It may be painful at first and it probably would require changes to how we do things but it can be done. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Plus while we have been in what 21 wars and conflicts around the world since WW2, China has been banking their trillions of dollars.

Also the Chinese don't pay $900 to military contractors for toilet seats.

We no longer are an self-sufficient industrialize country, that has been outsourced to China for the most part. If cutting off of Russia is painful, like you mentioned cutting the umbilical cord from China will be excruciating.

In all wars, nothing unusual about the following.

Aussie ABC TV openly shows how EuroUkraine uses schools to hide military defense points.

Manipulation on social media platforms for Dummies...i.e. Covid came from a Chinese "wet market" :crazy:

Do we understand that on some recent dumb asss poll, 35% of Americans favor a nuclear confrontation with Russia?

You can't make this sht up. We're more stupid every year and in a sad state. :noway:

Because it's business. You can't compare a 150m economy to a stronger 1.5b economy. Hence why China can put people in camps and everybody turns a blind eye. But all the sudden, everybody can be righteous against Russia.

It's not as easy as "bringing those jobs back" to the USA. Who will we start exporting too? Especially our agriculture industry.
